General

First, you need to assemble a Dowsing Rod.

It is used to locate veins of metal Ore.
When carrying one, a Dowsing Icon will allow the checking of the coordinate you are on.
Dowsing starts a Focus timer.

Tips n Tricks

Sometimes the absence of an ore is as important as its presence. If you find a gap in a vein of ore, it's quite probable that you have an intersection of rare ore!
Focus helps you dowse more often
Constitution helps you detect a larger area

Perception detects the ore type and is the primary stat required. Each ore type requires a different perception level similar to stone quarries.

Each ore type has a different path trajectory (direction like curved, straight) and width (number of coordinates).

If the width of the ore path is narrow (eg 1 coord wide) then you have to be standing directly on top of it to detect it. Adding +CON allows you to detect a vein when you are near but not on top of it.

With base of 0 CON you get a message similar to: You detect nothing under your feet.
With ++CON you get a message similar to: You detect a vein of ore nearby.

Perception Required

THIS INFO BELOW IS NOT CORRECT IN TELLING 8, Take it whit a grain of salt. a dash (-) next to a number means that number or possibly lower, and needs to be updated as discovered

Metal/Ore Type	Unrecognized At	Recognized At	Vein Shape	Other Metals Nearby
Copper	N/A	0	Line approx 10 co-ords wide	Tin, Zinc, Lead, Iron
Iron	1	2	Line
Tin	2	4	Blob	on end of copper, found solo, found ironxcopper
Aluminum	2	5	Line 2 to 5 co-ords wide with blobs	On the end of iron, solo
Zinc	3	6	Ring	Lead
Lead	3	7	Spot and Blob	Zinc
Tungsten	4	(8)
Titanium	5	(10)
Lithium	(7-)	(13-)	Square-ish, 50*55 coords
Antimony	(7)	(13-)
Strontium	(7-)	(14)
Silver	(7)	(15)	Line 2-3 co-ords wide.	plat at end
Magnesium	(8-)	(16-)
Platinum	(13-)	(24)	Blob	cap on silver end
Gold	(13-)	(24)	Blob	cap on Aluminum end

Ore Shapes

Copper - Curved not always capped with another ore, but frequently is.
Iron - Straight diagonal line, 2 coords wide.
Lead - Blob with a ring of Zinc surrounding it
Platinum - Intersection of Aluminium and Iron, forms a small 10 co-ord wide blob (found one blob that's 20'ish across -Tut)
Strontium - 4 Point Diamond 50-55 co-ordinates NSEW
- Not all points are always present
- I now think its an offset grid, not a diamond
Zinc - Ring around a central lead blob (T8- 1 sample @65 coord radius from lead)
